Calligraphy of Days is a Polish multi-author or collaborative poetry volume from Poland, associated with Alice-Catherine Carls, Krzysztof Siwczyk, translated by Piotr Florczyk, and published by Seagull Books in 2024. It is a Polish multi-author volume where time appears as inscription, gesture, and daily mark. Its value is in the feeling that a day can be written through the body, by hand, before it becomes memory. I would read it first for the pressure of the translated line rather than as a puzzle waiting for its correct answer. The best version of a description for a book like this should give the reader a door, not a lecture: a little context, then permission to meet the poem through image, cadence, and affect. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Poland. It shows how poetry in translation can carry local weather, private intensity, and literary history into English without becoming merely informational.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
